Workspace number at changes -- system freeze about fvwm3 HOT 9 CLOSED

Hi @rasatpc

Yes, it's a bug. I think I need to check the DesktopSize broadcast module issue as this implicitly sends a M_NEW_PAGE packet each time.

That being said, the way you've written this panel is written to spawn itself on a new_page event each time seems weird to me. I would instead use a single sticky FvwmButtons instance, and use SendToModule to change the button's text.

@rasatpc

Please can you try compiling fvwm3 on the ta/gh-997 branch? Hopefully that fixes this problem for you.

fvwm3 on the ta/gh-997 branch

Slightly better with milder freeze.

• Menu (left-click) appears, not previously due to freeze.
• FvwmPager flickers.
• FvwmPager mini-window shows modules on the desk. Doesn't read the option...
  *FvwmPager: UseSkipList (hides modules)

from fvwm3.

So it does help?

Good.

Whatever you're referring to re UseSkipList, has nothing to do with this issue.

from fvwm3.

Slight help, but still freezes,

Ok, UseSkipList I check later after this system freeze is solved.

I don't have any freezes here.

Can you see if there's other factors here which could be contributing to this?

from fvwm3.

Earlier I test with all Kise configs.
Now, default config with RightPanel.
FvwmConsole:
Read deskPgNo.sys

RightPanel's FvwmPager mini-windows are shaking, stops and system freeze.

Did you make any new changes in ta/gh-997 in 3 hours?

from fvwm3.

No, but I have just pushed another fix on that branch -- please git pull and try again.

Note also that your config example is still going to spawn a new FvwmButtons each time there's a new_page event. You should rewrite it per my earlier suggestion -- until you do, you will notice flickering as fvwm is trying to deal with that.

Thank you, the Page Indicator works fine.

use a single sticky FvwmButtons instance, and use SendToModule to change the button's text.

I don't understand those technical words. Will ask tomorrow. It is late here in Helsinki.... 01:35. Good night.
